It’s always recommended to use a single piece cantilever mount. If you have milspec sights than a mount that puts the center of the reticle 2.25-2.3 should provide a lower 1/3 cowitness. 2.26 if the exact if you’re like me and need it to be perfectly lower 1/3 lol. There are plenty of cantilever mounts for that height. You may want to go with a direct cowitness if you prefer your scopes to be low for less height over bore. IUnfortunately I don’t have a specific sku to provide.
